What Causes Tightening Of The Chest?
During any type of physical activities I feel like I am breathing cold air and have tightened across my chest and down my arms. I have already been to the doctor and had several tests ( asthma, echo cardio gram and stress test) all of these have come back normal but symptoms have continued. What is the next step to determine what is going on and do I need to see a specialist?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since your extensive work up for cardiac and pulmonary causes has been normal, no need to worry much for major organic diseases.
In my opinion you should consult psychiatrist and rule out anxiety.
As anxiety can cause similar symptoms.
Try to get done counselling seasons and find out stressor in your life. And work on it to find solution.
Be relax and calm. Avoid stress and tension.
You will be alright.
